We use question marks to make clear that what is said is a question. When we use a question mark, we do not use a full stop:…
You can't just place two spaces after every period, question-mark and exclamation mark, since periods are also used for abbreviations end ellipses, and question-marks and exclamation-marks don't always end sentences.
